She was alone again.

It didn't matter that there were other students in the truck with her (ah, so familiar. Twice in just as many days, wasn't it?), she was [i]alone[/i]. Siena had never really done well being truly alone. No Marcus, no Maya. Just her and the high tide as her heart stampeded like a violent elephant. Softly, the child sighed to herself, fingers pressed tight against the cover of the sole paper-and-ink book brought with her.  It was a minor comfort, but it was better than being left without the safety of the lightly aged papers. 

The ride back was long and largely quiet, bar for a remark or two and the sound of the ground passing beneath t hem. 

If only quiet was a state that existed for Siena's mind. Her head was still reeling, a mixture of vivid flashbacks and sickening churning failing to clear the state. She remained silent, withdrawn in her own thoughts even when the girl was herded none too gently into a long room. Many of them were moved like cattle into beds to have their injuries treated, but Siena found herself placed into what resembled a child's corner. Between the comics and the television, most people would have been able to keep themselves distracted, but Siena let herself get trapped in her own head, trying to no avail to assign the emotions to the person that they belonged with, steely eyes focused on nothing in particular--it probably looked like she was contemplating the existence of the wall to anyone around her. 

It wasn't until Benediction came sweeping in like the magnificent butterfly he was that Siena was snapped out of her stupor. It took a bit of time for the brunette to realize exactly what she was looking at--he was actually [i]there[/i]. It wasn't like Prism the other night, nothing but blasts, a threat, and a lifetime away. Benediction was there and present in the flesh...and he was healing them. Siena could feel her breath catch in the back of her throat, expression a mixture of starstruck and thrilled. Now [i]that[/i] was something to update the blog about. 

But just as suddenly as Benediction appeared, he left. Siena got to her feet as though the chair had burned her, the nurse barely clearing the group of students before the brunette was moving to see where Benediction had gone. There was no better source of material than an actual Precursor, after all. 

Having successfully making it out of the door and avoiding any more walls, Lily looked left and right, trying to figure out where the Precursor headed off to. Silently, she reviewed what she knew about Benediction to prevent her mind from being occupied yet again by faceless people. Benediction, the Precursor that had the miraculous power of healing... similar to hers, in a way... [color=lightcoral][i]Well, it's actually not similar at all,[/i][/color] she corrected herself and let her thoughts drift to exactly what she can do as she randomly chose a direction to head towards. Can it be called healing? [color=lightcoral][i]I can remove injuries...so that counts as healing right? But then..."[/i][/color] her train of thought turned a corner and into that feeling of wanting to make others feel her pain. That invasive and malicious intent. 

[color=lightcoral][i]Wait. No, no,"[/i][/color] she tried to clear the thoughts out of her head as she almost ran into a girl staring towards the direction she was headed to, awe apparent on her face. She looked up and remembered that she was following after someone. [color=lightcoral][i]Sebastian,[/i][/color] the name involuntarily popped into her head. Sebastian? [color=lightcoral][i]No... Benediction. His name is...[/i][/color] she furrowed her brow, trying to remember what it was that she had read about the Precursor before. A bright smile settled over her lips when she was able to remember. [color=lightcoral][i]Renard M...Malveaux. Benediction. Healer. Very handsome and... stingy.[/i][/color] She blinked. Stingy? Was that how he really was? [color=lightcoral][i] It'll be sad if he was. Well, I suppose if I'm fast enough, I'll be able to catch up and see for myself.[/i][/color] Her footsteps quickened as he hurried towards the direction everyone seemed to be gawking at.

Siena had to make a few quick guesses to try and catch sight of the Precursor again, catching sight of a familiar blonde girl as she moved. Blinking, Siena gave a weak smile. "[color=ff57ff]Are you looking for Benediction too?[/color]" Not that there wouldn't be others trying to mill about the Precursor, but it was nice to know that she wasn't alone in wanting to know more. Scanning the area, Siena caught sight of the man and gave a small nod of her head in his general direction, her feet taking her after the Precursor, her eyes only breaking their line of sight every so often to glance behind to see if Lily really was looking for Benediction. 

Lily looked up at Siena and recognized her as one of her team mates. She was glad to see that she was unharmed. [color=lightcoral][i]Oh, wait. Of course she would be if Benediction worked his magic... And if he did, then that's proof that he's really nice. Unless...unless he was just ordered to. Then, that'd mean that he's really not that nice of a person and...[/i][/color] derailed again, she stopped and then turned her thoughts back to her team mate. [color=lightcoral][i] It's nice that I'm not alone in following after him,[/i][/color] she thought pleasantly and then realized belatedly that she had not answered the girl's question. She opened her mouth to say something but promptly closed it again when she noticed that Siena's attention was no longer on her and had started to walk away. She stood there for a moment, wondering if she should follow or just turn around and maybe go get something to eat. Her thoughts immediately became a confusing mix of food and strange dreams.  

She was just about to turn away when Siena turned back to her. All thoughts in her head flew out as she made a split second decision to continue on with her original plan. With a grin, she jogged towards Siena and nodded her head. [color=lightcoral]"Benediction. Yes. I wanted to see him up close,"[/color] she said in an excited to as she stood on tiptoe and craned her neck, her short height obviously putting her at a disadvantage.

A sense of camraderie blossomed through the cracks that Benediction had formed in the thick slab of negativity that had been carefully cemented over the remainder of Siena's feelings. It was different from what she felt towards her servants--[i]how could you feel the same about anyone comparatively?[/i]--but it wasn't unpleasant. "[color=ff57ff]Heh...I've always wanted to see the Precursors. I didn't think we'd see them here though.[/color]" Then again, Siena had thought that the Precursors were too important and too busy to be bothered with younger subnaturals being hoarded away into USARILN East, but apparently she was wrong. 

Lily looked at Siena and nodded her head vigorously. [color=lightcoral]"Me too, me too!"[/color] she exclaimed excitedly as she continued craning her neck. [color=lightcoral]"He must be so cool, having a great power. And he must be preeeetty important to everyone,"[/color] she gestured a little irritatedly at the multitudes of guards. [color=lightcoral]"I think I can understand why he needs a lot of guards to watch over him but you'd think they'd just step aside for a bit so that we can catch a glimpse of him,"[/color]

Following after Benediction, Siena almost felt like she and Lily were on a covert mission, though it was hardly anything of the sort, given that there was hardly anyone that tried to be subtle about the fact that they were milling near Benediction. Starstruck as Siena was, she couldn't help but notice that...well, there was something about the man. She paused, her gaze fixed on what he was doing when he passed by the reflective surface of a window.

Was...was he [i]preening[/i] himself?

With her brow furrowed, Siena couldn't help but stare. Certainly, there had been rumors after she went digging for research, but she hadn't wanted to believe that such a powerful healer could be so vain. "[color=ff57ff]Unbelievable...[/color]" 

[color=lightcoral]"It's not as if we're gonna jump him or anything, right? I..."[/color] Lily was finally able to catch a glimpse of Benediction almost the same time as Siena did and her words trailed off. She stared at the Precursor, an awed look was on her face despite the things she read about him online. She jumped several times so that she can see him over the shoulders of the guards and the other people mulling around and was thoroughly disappointed when he disappeared into a door. An elated look crossed her face before she turned to Siena. [color=lightcoral]"Wow. He looked so handsome and cool and..."[/color] Golden hair and golden eyes similar to hers flashed through her mind. He was handsome too. Perhaps even equally handsome as Benediction. [color=lightcoral]"...he looks like Sebastian..."[/color] she said wonderingly. She stood there, looking distracted for a few seconds before she snapped out of it, the short lucid moment gone. 

[color=lightcoral]"Sebastian..."[/color] she repeated the name, a frown curving her lips down. [color=lightcoral][i]Who is Sebastian?[/i][/color] the question echoed in her head. She looked at Siena. [color=lightcoral]"Do you know who Sebastian is?"[/color] she asked with a confused tone in her voice, her mood dipping down abruptly. 

Something close to a smile crossed Siena's face as she glanced at Lily's attempts to get a better look at Benediction. Had she been more confident in her abilities to walk while doing so, the brunette would have offered to hold the blonde up for a better view. Eventually, the healer moved to an area with a number of guards--guards that didn't look like they were going to let any of the Benediction fanclub follow him further. A wave of disappointment crashed against Siena as she watched Benediction disappear behind the door. Turning to face her companion, Siena gave a faint smile. Well, Benediction did have a certain level of attractiveness, that was true. It was not until Lily asked about Sebastian that the brunette paused, her own smile fading. "[color=ff57ff]Sebastian? I...I'm sorry, I don't think I know who that is...[/color]" Guilt traced over Siena's heart, defying her rationalization that it wasn't her fault. 

"[color=ff57ff]If I hear of a Sebastian, I can always let you know,[/color]" Siena claimed. "[color=ff57ff]I guess for now, we should go before these guards think we're up to something.[/color]"

Lily frown stayed on her face. Who was Sebastian? Why does his name keep popping up in her head? [color=lightcoral][i]Maybe someone from my past? Maybe I can do a search or something? Find out whatever I can about him...[/i][/color] She looked at Siena and nodded her head, a little downcast this time around. [color=lightcoral]"Thanks,"[/color] was all she said before she glanced towards the guards. [color=lightcoral]"Yeah, we might end up getting thrown in jail or something just for trying to get a good look,"[/color] she said a little dejectedly. [color=lightcoral]"I'll see you around, Siena,"[/color] the golden haired girl muttered before she turned and walked away, her shoulder hunched forward.
